Ingredients

1.5 cups milk of choice
¼ cup natural peanut butter
⅛ teaspoon salt (if the peanut butter is unsalted)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
½ cup chia seed
¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

For sprinkling:

sea salt
crushed peanuts

Instructions

In a high powered blender, combine milk, peanut butter, salt, vanilla extract, honey, Greek yogurt and protein powder. Blend until smooth.
Once smooth, add to a large mixing bowl and whisk in chia seeds.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, stirring 2–3 times during the first 4 hours to keep the chia seeds evenly suspended before they fully absorb the liquid.
In the morning, divide the chia pudding amongst 4 10 oz glass jars (about 1 cup in each).
Melt the chocolate by combining the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until fully liquid.
Pour the chocolate over the chia pudding, top with sea salt and chopped peanuts and refrigerate to set the chocolate.

Notes

If you would like to decrease the sugar you can choose to omit the chocolate topping or just add a little drizzle or a few chocolate chips instead of the full coating! These peanut butter chia puddings still taste amazing without chocolate
For an even thicker chia pudding- decrease the milk to 1 cup!
If you are finding the chocolate is sinking while pouring- a tip is to drizzle the chocolate in a very thin circular pattern on the top. This ensures the chocolate layer doesn't get too thick (though it does get a little messy)!
Protein powder can be omitted with no substitutions necessary.
